Termination of deferred prosecution agreement
Official statutory text
A. Both the State of Oklahoma and the accused may mutually
terminate the deferred prosecution at any time, and the case shall
proceed as if there had been no agreement. If the State of Oklahoma
makes the termination decision unilaterally, it shall only do so in
light of all the relevant circumstances of the case. Arrest of the
accused for a subsequent offense shall not automatically terminate
the agreement. If the State of Oklahoma should decide to terminate
the agreement, it shall:
1. Send a written notice of termination to the accused and the
attorney for the accused, if any, explaining the reasons for the
termination;
2. Disclose to the accused or the attorney for the accused the
evidence supporting the decision to terminate; and
3. Afford the accused the opportunity to be heard and present
evidence, and cross-examine witnesses before a judge of the district
court. The accused shall have ten (10) days from the date of
mailing of the notice to file a written request with the court clerk
for the county in which a charge is pending for the hearing, after
which the right to a hearing shall be waived. The burden shall be
upon the State of Oklahoma to prove that the accused did not fulfill
the conditions of the agreement, and that an information should be
filed.
B. On and after the effective date of this act, if an agreement
is terminated by the State of Oklahoma for failure of the person to
comply with the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement, the
termination document and supporting documentation shall be open to
the public.
C. If an agreement is terminated by the State of Oklahoma and
the accused is subsequently tried before a jury, the court shall
instruct the jury not to consider any delay in prosecution while the
accused was participating in the deferred prosecution program.
